rose vines are as lovely when they wrap tight over your limbs and shatter your bones
Her steps are quiet and slow, her features shadowed by a long cloak and the deep shadows. There's wonder in this underground palace of colorfully blooming trees, ferns and flowers snared in their far-reaching roots. Somehow there's still light beneath the jungles, glowing from petals and leaves.
As comfortable as it might make Aurelia feel to at last be beneath the ground again, dark as that may sound, she knows better than to simply trust the wilds. A place like this is sure to have its secrets.
She carries the bow Melita made for her, pale driftwood smoothed and tooled by hand ready in her own grip. A single arrow is notched to it, ready to shoot at anything that might leap out at her from the depths, a slight inclination toward any quarry she might find hiding here.
Suddenly movement catches her attention, perhaps a sound of something's weight along the ground barely audible above the ambience. But Aurelia has a trained ear and a suspicious feeling. The sharp of her arrow points in its direction, poised with the promise of a swift death. Yet she waits in tense silence. After all, there have been other explorers out here, so she won't shoot blind.
